Vaccine Contamination

New Quality-Control Investigations on Vaccines: Micro- and NanocontaminationIn detail, we verified the presence of saline and Aluminum salts, but further presence of micro-, sub-micro- and nanosized, inorganic, foreign bodies (ranging from 100nm to about ten microns) was identified in all cases, whose presence was not declared in the leaflets delivered in the package of the product.

Emergent Human Pathogen Simian Virus 40 and Its Role in CancerInfectious SV40 survived the vaccine inactivation treatments, and conservative estimates indicate that up to 30 million people (children and adults) in the United States may have been exposed to live SV40 from 1955 through 1963 when administered potentially contaminated polio vaccines. Millions of people worldwide were also potentially exposed to SV40 because contaminated polio vaccines were distributed and used in many countries.
